Star Wars The High Republic Wave Two - First Details Revealed 1

Star Wars is eternal, and even when there aren’t new movies or TV shows for fans to obsess over, there are still things like The High Republic, a series of interconnected books that are set 200 years before the events of the Skywalker saga. A whole new wave of High Republic titles have just been announced, including comic books, serialized fiction, young adult novels, and more. There’s something for seemingly everyone here, provided you’re gaga for all-things Star Wars.

“This was an idea that I always wanted to do with Star Wars publishing, in that I wanted to tell a massive story, told across multiple formats over multiple years, for every type of fan,” said Lucasfilm Publishing creative director Michael Siglain, back when The High Republic was first announced. “So if you’re only reading a Del Rey novel or you’re only reading a Marvel comic, you’re getting one piece of the story. But if you’re a core fan and you’re reading a Del Rey novel and a YA novel and a Marvel comic, you’re getting a much bigger part of the story. You’re getting the whole picture. It’s not as if it’s one story aged down or up depending upon format, there’s not one ‘A’ story. Every one of these stories is the ‘A’ story, and then they combine together into a massive, massive story…The origin of this is really a comic book crossover, only instead of one superhero crossing over with another and another, it’s different publishers crossing over with each other, with one story or character leading into another.”
